Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'éclairage permettant d'obtenir une excellente émission en surface avec une configuration simple. Le dispositif d'éclairage (1) comprend une DEL (5) et une lentille externe (3) ayant une surface d'émission de lumière sensiblement rectangulaire (3a). Le dispositif d'éclairage, qui diffuse la lumière à partir de la DEL (5) et irradie l'extérieur avec la lumière diffusée, présente un élément optique en forme de plaque sensiblement rectangulaire (6) disposé entre la DEL (5) et la lentille externe (3) pour correspondre à la forme de la surface d'émission de lumière (3a). L'élément optique (6) a une partie incidente sur laquelle au moins une partie de la lumière provenant de la DEL (5) est incidente et une partie d'émission qui émet de la lumière vers la lentille externe (3). La partie incidente est conçue par une surface interne d'un trou traversant (6a) qui est disposé de façon à faire face à la DEL (5) et est pénétré de manière coaxiale par rapport à un axe optique de la DEL (5). La lumière incidente à partir de la partie incidente est réfractée sur la surface interne du trou traversant (6a) pour être diffusée dans la direction longitudinale de l'élément optique (6) perpendiculairement à la direction de l'axe optique de la DEL (5).
